nova's bash prompt
My bash prompt is very minimalist:
PROMPT_COLOR_ROOT="\033[31m" PROMPT_COLOR_USER="\033[34m" if [[ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]]; then PROMPT_COLOR=$PROMPT_COLOR_USER else PROMPT_COLOR=$PROMPT_COLOR_ROOT fi PS1="\n $PROMPT_COLORλ\033[0m "This instruction creates a single lambda symbol λ. It is coloured blue for a regular user, and red for root.
